I have procured great bounty from the Sovereign Hill sweet shop. Raspberry drops for everyone!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
delicious, thank you 😊
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Oooh yummy! I love raspberry drops. I recollect that the Sov Hill bullseyes are particularly fine too. Is this still so? As it’s been a good few years since I last went there.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’ve gone raspberry, blackcurrant, acid drops and butterballs. Will report back

Lots of fruit too I see. Impressive.

This was the first week in like a month I wasn’t still at the desk at midnight at least once. Celebrating with some wine and culinary class masters on Netflix. Feel like I can actually relax finally for a bit
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Thank you for the birthday wishes! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :3
Mickey has been treated like the Monarch he is, he is now sleeping in his Pondering Orb (I think).
Apropos of nothing, but Abracadabra by Steve Miller Band slaps 🎉

Hi all :) I’m going to plug a gig I’m organising to celebrate the launch of my album. I feel a bit self promo-y doin this, but thought some may be interested. events.humanitix.com/fehlbergo-album-launch Thurs April 23rd, Bar 303 Northcote. (Tix are $11.50, but if you wanna go and you’re strapped for cash just send me a message and we’ll sort it out :)
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Sounds fun. Link to previous music?
phant@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
It’s only on Bandcamp and Soundcloud, but you can stream it free and accountless on both :) fehlbergo.bandcamp.com/album/luv-c
on.soundcloud.com/2yVZ4QQouUmdCUErmi
It will be real fun! Jan and Babysitter bands are supporting, so a good night of wholesome and authentic music.

Fuck my feet hurt.
I’d entirely forgotten that Sovereign Hill had hills

Girlfriend took me to Farm Vigano yesterday for my birthday. Good food and a great location, but the highlight of going there is getting to see Am A Bell Crabb again:

ruminating
Unfortunately, I struggle a lot with getting things done. Even just eating three meals a day and exercising. Apparently it’s AuDHD but who knows. The psychiatrist is too expensive so I will be waiting until I get time off uni to work more and save up. It is time to believe in myself a bit more. I was considering starting guitar from scratch because I have an all-or-nothing mindset and my teacher gave me this great idea of doing “practise sprints”, short, timed bursts of practise. So now I am also doing tidy sprints, and uni work sprints. I haven’t picked up the guitar this week because I’m too scared 👀 but I have done more piano than I did last week. I think that counts for something. I keep telling myself that I can’t do uni or teaching because I am incapable and it’s not for me. I see my classmates doing really well and think that because I get overwhelmed so easily and have less life experience, I will fail. Again, that is very all-or-nothing. I haven’t given anything a good go in my life, always quitting before persisting. I guess I’ll do an experiment on myself and see if I feel better about things when I give them a good go, or if I actually don’t want my life to head in this direction. All I know is that I am sick of not achieving things and I need a sense of mastery in my life.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
you have finished lots of things, you did your uni degrees 👍 So you can finish things
everything else is not a continuation of this but are new tasks , often requiring new skills and different personal attributes
also, change is not failure 👍
you can do this 😊

Cat was going to be taken last night or this morning but no foster place has been found yet. I agreed to give him the ringworm meds while the rescuer keeps looking. It puts off the difficult moment but drags out the guilt and uncertainty :(
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Its ok…you have done the right thing
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
It’s awful. I’m always having to do unpleasant things that scared little animals don’t understand in order to help them.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I am starting to seriously look at buying a house, however my enthusiasm for the process is about on a par with going to the dentist. I wish I could just pick a house out of an online catalogue and skip all of the tedious looking/inspecting/negotiating bit.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Good Morning. 😊
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
rain, big rain
my lawn needs mowing 🤨
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Rest assured, It will be there after the rain

First real wrangling of the beast… I got him to come over for food then scooped him into my crouching lap and dripped the ground water mixed pill into his mouth the same way I used to with Melbcat.
No hissing or scratching but his squirming and fighting was frantic. Feel bad that I restrained him until he’d had it all before I let him go. He ran away and looked back a couple of times while I was apologetically calling but disappeared into the night utterly disgusted with me. I hope it hasn’t damaged the trust I built up. I’m meant to do this every day 😔
But what am I supposed to do? Can’t let him be a scabby boy. No fosters want a ringworm cat because it would spread to their other healthy ones, and to have a separate ringworm section I’d have to surrender him to a no kill shelter. I can’t see him doing well there even if they accepted him.
I’m so shitty I returned Melbcat’s unused meds because one of them was a very effective anti-anxiety medication. It could really have helped me with this. I might have to try him on Zylkene to see if it helps him adjust to all this.

I also called Griefline earlier because I’m missing my baby girl so much. This new crisis is overshadowing her but her loss is seeping through. In the quiet times I have I’m remembering her and holding her urn and really going through it. I wish I had the opportunity to slow down and deal with things.
Taleya@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
That’s the worst part for me. The falling into the holes in your life where they’re supposed to be. hugs
Don’t try and have a timeline. Grief sets its own meter
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Yep. It keeps getting you
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
so many hugs
put on his wet food …com.au/oralfungol-oral-solution/

Put the urn on a shelf. Look at it. Don’t hug it. Don’t reinforce difficult emotions.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Thanks, I might get that when he’s finished the pills.
It brings me some comfort. It kind of feels sometimes like she’s still with me.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
c’mon, just a few days without rain so my lawn can dry out enough to mow
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Apparently there is a seal lying on the highway at Mccrae - it’s blocking traffic and motorists have been advised to avoid the area. It’s the main road parallel to the beach …
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
good night everyone
big hugs and may you have sweet dreams 😘

My sleep in was interrupted by my anti-sads regulating my circadian rhythm, sigh. But it’s my birthday so a wake and bake is in order methinks yolo
I was actually born on a Friday, so it’s very satisfying when my birthday falls on it again - activates some small reward centre in my brain.
